Thanks for the help! BBA done in one session

There are plenty of people who would not be disciplined enough, or have the time in their schedule, to do a competency-based degree.

competency degrees are definately for the self-motivated people. If you need someone to hold your hand or force you to attend classes it isn't for you. BUt, if you have a family member, etc, that can hold yo unaccountable it might work. They target busy adults who need this and are motivated to finish ASAP

Your right that some may not have the discipline to go through with it.

I believe that people are a lot stronger than they think they are, and the human mind is very powerful.

If someone that was reading this post was thinking about starting college, I would tell them to stop thinking/planning and just go to Sophia.org RIGHT NOW and take the free 1st lessons for courses.

After you complete the first challenge, you now have hard data to use to estimate how long it would take you to complete the course. 

Take the time it took you to complete
Challenge #1 X the Total Challenges
+ add 1hr for each milestone exam = Total est time to complete the course.

You can go faster by watching videos at 2x speed or just reading the text.  The Pdfs are free to download so you are free to read them which most courses you can read through in under 3 hours.

It's hard to describe, but you can feel it in your bones that you are going to succeed in your college journey at some point after you complete several courses.

Whether you do UMPI in 1, 2, or 3 terms, at the slowest pace you would still be going 4 times faster than most people at a traditional brick and mortar college.  That all can be done while working a full-time job, with family obligations, or even while traveling.

Even if you did 1 class at a time, after doing Sophia, Study.com, etc, you still come in cheaper then doing those alternate credits, etc at TESU etc.

Sophia for 1-2 months $158
Instant Cert for a month about $60ish 
Study.com for a month about $200

$338 for the above ^. Which you're going to do for TESU anyways, plus then go to Tel learning or ASU and spend thousands more to get the 30 RAs. 

But, with that $338 you can finish off your remainder at UMPI at roughly 1 class a month, if you only have 30ish left to finish after the above, that's $1400 a session (two months) which will come to only $7000 a month. 

$7338 just by doing a casual normal snail pace too. UMPI is super freaken competitive when it comes to CBE degrees.
